Ocean Mist Farms artichokes will be featured on US television on Thursday (11 March) at 6pm Pacific time (depending on local cable listings) on the History Channel’s show Food Tech, according to a company press release.

The episode, filmed last fall in Castroville, California, includes interviews with grower/owner Hugo Tottino, his daughter Michele Pecci and Dale Huss, vice-president of artichoke harvesting.

The History Channel’s show, Food Tech, is similar to Food Network’s Unwrapped in that the host, Bobby Bognar, travels around the country to understand where and how food gets from the ground, farm or even factory all the way to the plate.

“Bobby (Bognar) and I both really love this show.We think it has scope, some fun moments, and is very informative,” said Greg DeHart, supervising producer.

The Ocean Mist Farms segment includes information about the history, growing, harvesting and cooking of the classic green globe artichokes.

“We hosted a full day of filming with the Food Tech crew last fall here in Castroville,” explained said Kori Tuggle, marketing manager, Ocean Mist Farms. “We’re interested to see what parts of all the footage and interviews they filmed, become part of the episode.”

Food Tech also filmed a second episode featuring Ocean Mist Farm's spinach ranch in Coachella which will air at a later date.
